Hi all

Hi all,
I'm an 18-year-old, male, Asian student at a prestigious (whatever that means) American university. I was pretty dissatisfied with the quality and specificity of the other dullard's answers, so I'm here if you guys have anything to ask. Maybe it'll be fun.

Go back to gold farming on WoW and creating massive amounts of electronic waste you chink.

Why did you go to a shity country as america, all i see in them are fat retards with guns

Fuck off back to bambooland, rice monkey.

Alas, I cannot as I have never played WoW. Also, I believe a significant percentage of electronic waster (e.g. the gold and copper) is recycled now.

All I see in the UK and all of Europe are a bunch of weirdos with weird laws and strangely enough, no laws where there should be.

They give alcohol to 10 year olds, are slaves to the middle east, and they say cheerio 24/7. How is that not weirder than US?

I didn't make that particular choice; I was born in the US. Fat retards with guns are also not uniformly distributed here, I believe. There are areas without them.
Additionally, obesity is a treatable condition. Retardation is a little more difficult though.

"Back to" implies an incorrect assumption made on your part. But thanks, user. I appreciate the sentiment.

Yellow-nigger faggot

Funny considering how you have to melt down like 400 fill sized motherboards in chemical baths just to get a couple hundred in gold. Where the hell you gonna get that many boards? Anyone who owns them in that quantity is doing the same thing already.

chinese asian?

So blame your parents making you live here.

"Weirdness" is pretty subjective. At least in many first world countries, you can be assured the laws were shaped by the people in them. Whether or not it was a representative sample of people writing those laws I cannot say. But if the people in those countries wanted those laws, who can say it is weird? But moral relativism is indeed a weak argument.

"Yellow"
"Nigger"
Pick one. I don't think you know how to use either of those slurs correctly.

As if we'd be that lucky. There aren't many chinese in UNI's anymore, mostly South Korean, Laotian, and Japanese.

Well, that's how much gold was used in their manufacture in the first place. Gold recovery in electronics is 90%+, I believe. But I agree electronic waste is often a terribly polluting phenomenon. It's especially bad because the metal runoff is more toxic, relatively, than many other wastes. See itai itai disease in Japan.

Yep. It's pretty tough for us now considering affirmative action, but what can you do.

Eh, it's not bad here. Opportunities are what you make of them (not to be too cheesy) and the US still abounds with them.

How many people in Europe wanted Article 13 to pass? It's single handedly the most oppressive article in modern European history.
>Sorry guys, you probably aren't going to be able to visit like half the sites on the entire web from now on because we say the web has to be filtered now.
>Oh what's that Norway? You voted yes accidentally?
>Go fuck yourself.
>Instead of changing your vote to no, we will just put in the notes that we told you to fuck off.

Well, that's what I mean by "whether or not it was a representative sample of people writing those laws I cannot say." In every nation I can think of laws are not shaped by the populace. A combination of low voter turnout and manipulation by those with power and wealth means democracy is rarely so.

See this excellent quote by Noam Chompsky:
"Let’s take the Russia business. Let’s say all the claims are true. Suppose Russia tried to interfere in the American elections. That ought to make people laugh hysterically. There is huge interference in American elections. It comes from the corporate sector. They practically buy the elections. In fact, there is extensive work in mainstream academic political science that demonstrates very convincingly that you can predict the electability, hence largely the votes, of people in Congress on major issues just by looking at their campaign funding. That is one factor, let alone lobbying and everything else. That is massive interference in elections."

There was a guy in the 40's who would call off the news over the radio. He would rapid fire all sorts of sensational news in a matter of like 3 minutes. You had no way of fact checking him, and why would you, he's on the radio! He must be trust worthy. But you might as well have been reading from the Sun Times because he was full of shit. Sure today's news media also tells sensational stories that could be made up to manipulate you, but Donald Trump has said before that he admired that radio guy and the way he talked. Plus He too shares mostly false sensational stories and claims about himself on Twitter like it's going out of style.

Suspicious?

Ah, but you see, the news 50, 60 years ago was on a different editorial level than today. Back then most people got their news in the daily paper. All the news of the days was compiled and checked over before publication. But today 24-hour news cycle means that news is often thrown out before facts are fully known, and in order to fill the time "opinion" interviews masquerade as fact. Additionally, the internet is a remarkable source of easy misinformation. News has never been perfect. It's just significantly less so now.

Additionally the scope and scale of sensationalism today is a much more daunting thing to counter.

>Asian
>born in the US
Pick one, zipperhead.

Genetic material and nationality are distinct concepts, I think.

Here is my advice, get off internet shitholes like these before you get sucked into the NEET culture. If you want to succeed in your so called prestigious university, youll have to act like prestigious students act.

You're partially right, but maybe for the wrong reasons. "Pollution of the mind" is a legitimate phenomenon for people who can't control themselves, manage their time, or divorce fantasy from reality. But I think it's possible to wallow in Sup Forums and be a perfectly fine intellectual. Anyhow, the expectation to "act like prestigious students act" is a silly one. I'm satisfied as long as I am competent at what I do (or getting there). If I can do that I don't care if I spend off-time browsing Sup Forums.

I've also found that the most intelligent people I know act not at all similar to the stereotypical "prestigious university student" trope. They don't care about conforming to a paradigm and personally I think the world is better off with people like them. Derek, you're not on Sup Forums, but keep rocking out with that massive brain of yours and your strong opinions on Three Mile Island and linguistic prescriptivism.

Yes, this. I'm old and rich now and I wish somebody old and rich told me this when I was an arrogant shit in college.

Don't be an idiot, that's like saying not everybody who smokes gets cancer. You are the cancer. Leave. Intelligence and the ability to write as if you are self aware doesn't make you immune to ordinary human cognitive failings any more than doctor's don't get sick and admen don't buy stuff.

You seem more competent than I was at the time, so maybe you don't need my advice then. I did well in undergrad, but was too antisocial and introverted, so I gradually became more "distant" from typical students... try to have a better experience than I did.

You don't strike me as a particularly curious person. Maybe ask the dummies more questions outside of class, listen, and you'll understand why they're in class with you giving sub optimal answers.

No, it doesn't.
Have you successfully cut out everything you consider metaphysical cancer in your life? May I ask why you still choose to browse Sup Forums?

the same reason smokers still smoke and also tell others not to smoke. don't do it, asshole

I'm sorry to hear you had that experience. It's interesting how college is different from HS. It's a wider place and sometimes you meet people you'll never see a second time. I guess I never realized how "big" it was that everyone's lunches occurred at the same time.

Oh? What gave you that impression?

On a less related note, I'm fortunate to mostly be in classes with people I consider smarter than I am.

Fair advice. The utility one might derive from lurking dumb internet arguments and poorly-sourced porn is low, but we still do it.

Of course people in general are bad at assessing themselves, try not to fault me too much.

You just don't come off as someone particularly curious in other people.

That's too ambiguous a response to be helpful, but I appreciate the commentary nonetheless.
